Elemental Frame Idea

[The Weenus Pincher]

A complex rune based frame:
Stein

Passive:
Combined elements can combine with other combined elements for new effects.
This effects weapon as well used by said frame.
In depth Explanation:
Viral + Rad = Decaying Contagion: Functions like a slightly better viral, but has a DOT effect directly to health
Viral + Magnetic = Shield Leak: Prevents enemy shields from regenerating while leaching enemy shields for you own(If they have no shields, takes armour instead for shields)
Viral + Corrosive = Armour Leach: Function like Shield leak but gives temp armour instead
Corrosive + Rad = Rad Decay: Slow drains enemy armour while making them fight each other, any damage they take removes armour faster
Corrosive + Magnetic = Shrapnel: Any damage an enemy takes under this effect causes a chunk of their armour to turn into a fragment and attack the nearest enemy
Rad + Magnetic = Irradiated: Enemies under this effect suffer effects similar to rad but can spread it, players also take reduced damage from enemies effected
Explosive + Any(Combined elements) = Rigged: Functions as weaker damaging explosive status, but spreads said combined element with its explosions
Rad + Corrosive + Viral + Magnetic = Chaos: An ever changing status effect when inflicted said victim suffers randomly changing effects, any miladies while chaos is active stays on victim regardless of what random element it becomes(Can inflict , void, any element, any combined element, shrink or grow body parts, petrify, etc)
Keep in mind the passive description wouldn't be this big.

Ability 1:
Engrave:
Put explosive runes on nearby enemies, press again to detonate. Any effect on said enemy is spread to nearby enemies on explosion.
HOLD:
Place a giant rune that inflicts corrosive for a set duration, imbues weapons with corrosive as well. Mixes status effect with other giant runes crossing with it.

Ability 2:
The Chisel:
Launch a volley of chisels that home in and deal slash damage. Damage scales with number of status effects and stacks.
HOLD:
Place a giant rune that inflicts magnetic for a set duration, imbues weapons with magnetic as well. Mixes status effect with other giant runes crossing with it.

Ability 3:
The Stone:
Petrify yourself restoring health and shields for a time period(Can exit by doing again). Can attack still but move very slowly. Petrified stone form has limited durability. Doing this while engrave is active petrifies rune inflicted enemies.
HOLD:
Place a giant rune that inflicts viral for a set duration, imbues weapons with viral as well. Mixes status effect with other giant runes crossing with it.

Ability 4:
The Slab:
Give your self an exalted great sword(Giant stone slab on a handle) with very large melee range. Attacks pierce through enemies. Any enemy hit that has status effects will be copies onto the weapon while its active, the more effects the more the energy drain. Killing chaos effected enemies reduce energy cost temporarily.(Drain is manageable though, just a nice to have thing)
HOLD:
Place a giant rune that inflicts Rad for a set duration, imbues weapons with Rad as well. Mixes status effect with other giant runes crossing with it.

Probably a bit broken and too complex, cool maybe. I have fun making these.

Yeah i was thinking that this would kind of step on Lavos' toes.

[Drago]

I agree, if nothing else this write-up would be useful to keep in consideration for Lavos or Chroma.

Id like to see a Weather Frame on the base of what Dante does where the combination of the abilities produces a variable weather effect from the four depending on the parts prior

Yeah, that would also be pretty cool. Any particular mythic inspiration for weather control or just a sorta generic like LImbo with its time wizard void magician deal?

Keep in mind, we have some basic theme repeats amongst the frames already, so having another Elementalist isn't necessarily a bad thing.

As long as the expression itself is different, that is.

That said... this does look pretty close to Lavos' kit.

The runes were intended to act like Oberon's carpet sorta. Place a rune on the ground and that area is effected by it. Unlike Oberon though you have 4 different ones that when crossed over combine the combined elements.

So Lavos?

Yesn't, lavos like but has to place oberon carpets down sorta to mix elements.

[The Big Brzezinski]

Still waiting on luchadorframe, tigerframe, sharkframe, HMS Warspiteframe, vikingframe, Shakaframe, treeframe, and hockeyframe.

Good

That is true, as long as something makes the new options unique. Hydroid and Sevagoth both have nautical visual themes but otherwise are pretty different with Hydroid embracing the water and Sevagoth mostly being a living shadow grudge embodiment deal.

Or how Harrow and Oberon both have clerical healer themes; with Harrow being the martyr priest and Oberon being a martial deer paladin of holy radiation! Hmm, they could both work in their own ways in Fallout or Wasteland :)

[Big Willie]

Basically a Lavos rework. Not a bad idea

[SmallGespenst]

going to be real, that wouldn't be a good frame. needing to drop a bunch of AOEs every time you want to shoot stuff is bad. the riduculous over-complexity of the extra element combinations is just too much and will wreck established builds, while also being bad to use because you're combining a bunch of status procs, when 90% of gun builds are using Galvanised Aptitude.
the skills are similarly bleh. chisels having the Condition Overload has anti synergy with the Passive merging elements.
"Petrify yourself" is prime meme territory, crippling your own mobility is suicide in high end content. that's going to be Helmithed off in any serious build, even if that guts the frame's gimmick.
Also Exalted weapons fall off hard with the mechanics they don't get, which cements the Frame as mastery fodder, between Passive anti-synergy, the energy tax on repositioning that those Runes would provide, bad S3 and S4 that's already been powercrept.

Sort of generic but also sort of inspired by an assortment of characters and concepts in various games and books

The runes idea is cool in this. Good one.
Does remind me of lavos, but there's something about the runes, that could work with another warframe. I'm not smart enough to know what, why, or how to design that warframe. But yea, the runes are the interesting elements for me in this new wf idea.

GGs.

Its lavos, chroma and atlas inspired. It does sorta work against its self though, maybe the extra element combining could strictly be for the runes.(Basically buffing multi flavoured Oberon carpets) One thing I completely forgor to mention was the fact you can buff your teammates with the large runes too, and yes you have have the uncombined combined elements too maybe. I think I tried to make it a bit too unique though.
